Overheating Tyres

Hey everybody,

Just a quick one I was hoping someone could help me with

I feel like the team principle at Haas at the minute. No matter what I do my tyres seem to overheat. I'm in a league with a few of my friends and I've spoke to them about it. They can be at PL4 and still have the tyre temp bang on, yet in the same race I can be at PL2 and still overheating the tyres. My tyre economy is higher than there's too.

Is there anything in my set up, design points etc I can change to combat this, or it something I'm always going to be burdened with? Don't know of it makes a difference I use Android and they use iOS??

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

To answer your last question first, no Android/iOS/Laptop/PC makes no difference.

Also, with current temps at tracks (mostly hot Summer) I would question anyone who is running (or says they are running) more than P1 at most tracks unless running hard tyres. Even Monaco where SS is king and can need PL5 a lot of the year is probably only PL3 for most of race at the moment.

Do have specific excamples? What track, what tyres, what track tempature? 

Yea, it's not been the case so much this week with the heatwave. Off the top of my head I struggle with spa, even on mediums and PL2 they were overheating. Bahrain was the same, but they may be because of how hot it is over there. I'll post in here next time it happens.
